Leno meets the nicest people on his bored out Honda CB750
Jay Lenos Garage is back to its tried-and-true formula this week with Jay taking a close look at a seriously cool vehicle with a guest. This time he invites in Adam Gaspic from Gasser Custom to take a look at a highly customized 1975 Honda CB750.
The bike is really an amalgam of styles from different eras and various Honda parts. Its looks are inspired by 50s hot rods with its white-wall tires and satin, metallic fuel tank, but there is a little British café racer in there, as well. A digital instrument panel and LED turn signals lend an air of modernity to it, too. Mechanically, the bike rides on a modified 75 frame with the front and rear suspension from an 80s Honda. However, the pièce de résistance is its engine, bored out to 836cc with additional head work and a custom exhaust.
Once on the road, the bike really sings. It sounds just the way a classic Japanese motorcycle should with a mix of whine at high-revs with rumble down low. A cycle that mixes this many styles should probably be a mess, but this fuses it all together perfectly. Scroll down to take a look at this motorcycle mixing classic and modern in Jay Lenos Garage.

New Google Play Web Store rolls out

The new version of the Google Play Web Store continues the bold design language introduced with Googles latest Android app revisions, including Google Music, Play Movies and the Google Play app itself.
In terms of usability, the key addition here is a handy sidebar, which contains immediate links to Apps, Movies, Music, Books and Magazines, as well as your devices. Previously all media was bunched into an irritating drop-down menu.
The actual design is far more visually arresting, with larger screen shots and artwork for applications and more space granted to descriptions. Google+ recommendations from your contacts for individual apps, movies and other items of media have also been pushed to the fore.
This new Google Play Web Store is a lot smarter, too, with the ability to resize according to your screen size.
Click on the price of an app or any other item and youll be able to open up a download window, enabling you to select a device and install without navigating away from the page.
Theres also a new option within individual app pages to add them to your wishlist - a great way to keep an eye on those apps you stumble upon that are a little pricier than you would like.
All in all its a massive improvement over what came before. It certainly teaches the sluggish, unwieldy iOS App Store a few lessons.
